White Mage's 6.1 changes fail to address a core issue I have with the job.

Situation 1: During uptime, you use a Lily to heal with Afflatus Rapture.
Result 1: You charge 1/3 of misery, losing a 310 potency Glare III, and healing for 400 potency.

Situation 2: During a time the boss is not targetable, you burn a lily which does not heal. When the boss comes back and uses a raidwide damage attack, you cast medica II.
Result 2 : You charge a lily for free, but lose a 310 potency Glare while casting Medica II, and heal for a total of 1,000 potency.

Even though the reasons for changing white mage's Afflatus Misery come from the right place- trying to make it neutral to use Lilies in full-uptime scenarios- the adjustment to getting one every 60 seconds instead of 90 seconds and heavily increasing the potency will likely have a major impact on the Ultimate content for healers of FFXIV, because that content often has short windows to deal damage to bosses and long periods of mechanics without anything to hit. I do believe that white mage deserves to have its power increased to feel on the level of the other healers currently, but the amount of damage that Afflatus Misery used in this way and could potentially deal in Ultimate is way too much to ignore, and is for now making me quit the idea of playing Scholar, since White Mage does not seem to be designed for working together with other healers, and more for being selfish about DPS at the expense of another healer player.

As an addendum to this post, I would like to thank anyone reading and request that everyone remain civil and understanding about my perspective as someone who tries very hard to contribute the most that I can.
I do believe that White Mage needed to get a boost right now, I just very much dislike the way it feels to play together with a White Mage while optimizing the usage of Afflatus Misery. You are all welcome to agree or disagree or even choose not to have an opinion on this matter. I have no idea how Afflatus Misery should be changed to avoid this detailed situation, but I just don't enjoy it being the way it is currently. And I cannot rightly tell my white mage main friends to stop playing their favourite job. The only thing I can do is deliver my personal feedback to the developers here on the official forum.
